Lies come in two flavours.. commission and omission.. morally and legally they are equivalent. Ignorance of law.. (complex laws of physics like the Second Law of Thermodynamics notwithstanding) may avoid the moral judgement.. not the legal one. Nothing excuses those who do understand or could reasonably be expected to understand that law.
However the Second Law is in fact a law of COMMON SENSE.. all states of matter tend toward their most probable.. (things observably decay).. basis of statistical probability.. the bible is not subtle..
Rom 2:18-23 check the words..
"..godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth..
what may be known about God is plain to them..
God's invisible qualities.. have been clearly seen..
being understood from what has been made..
so that men are without excuse..
claiming to be wise they became fools"
Even R Dawkins calls bio-tech 'apparent design'.. because it passes the test for design.. (clearly understood before 1859). So if I am correct some very influential.. leading scientists are in fact 'suppressing the truth'.. the very same who boldly claim modern science to be 'godless'. The fact that some eminent scientists are theists is irrelevant.. they tend to hold this view personally and not professionally. Take a look at "Expelled" featuring Ben Stein.
So we make the following observation from the bible in 2 Thess 2 "GOD SENDS A POWERFUL DELUSION".. but then tells us all about it.. and the basis of being 'deluded'.. he is not the liar! WE ARE.. We are 'suppressing the truth'. Who gets caught? All who don't 'love the truth'.. (uncomfortable.. implied). This need only be a problem if you think you are God!
So the writer of 'The God Delusion' is the one deluded and you must choose.. NATURALISM or TRUTH.. can't have both.
Have a pleasant day
